acgeorge Posted August 19, 2017 Report Posted August 19, 2017 Was wondering if we could add Live Free Armory to the 308 Manufacturers forums. Live Free Armory Live Free Armory 4324 Fortune Place West Melbourne Florida 32904 (407) 891-1255 Sales@livefreearmory.com
98Z5V Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 Don't see why not - especially since they've changed their design - it's truly their own design now, and not just the Matrix/Ruger SR762 design. We need to ask Chris Reideman what he thinks about this, though.
Robocop1051 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 Who's buying them? I've never seen one here. I don't mind adding more names to our wall, but will they be around in a few weeks?

He's the whole reason Matrix Aerospace had a position: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/126-matrix-aerospace/
98Z5V Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 Maybe modify the Matrix position with a slash? Live Free/Matrix Aerospace?... Not sure... The bulk of the information is in the Matrix section...

jtallen83 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 I believe he is machining his own receivers now so the matrix info might not apply. I know one member here that bought an early LF rifle, he had big issues to start but they fixed him up in the end, totally replaced the rifle eventually. Chris stands by his stuff. I see he is selling custom builders kits now; https://www.livefreearmory.com/product/308-build-your-own-kit/
survivalshop Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 Ya , we have a manufacturer that doesn't have a Rifle in production yet in that section , why not one that does . Sorry Rob I couldn't help myself .
unforgiven Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 I did speak to him when I was getting the Veloscity trigger and mentioned this forum to him. He did mention something for the members here. He also was going through a big expansion. That's what he said not sure if he was blowing smoke.

I don't mind adding more names to our wall, but will they be around in a few weeks? I just won a bid at Gunbroker for a matched set, $116 (got lucky). Should be seeing it in a week or two, to move forward with my build.
jtallen83 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Posted August 21, 2017 Buttonbuck owns a LFA 308AR rifle. I may use use a receiver and rail set from him on my next 308 build. Bought a 300 BO pistol upper from them for dad, it was very nice for the $200, nitron BCG and never a failure. Used a 5.56 receiver and rail set for a lightweight build that was problem free.
buttonbuck Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Great rifle I bought the BA Hybrid. It was a thermal hog/yote gun from inception, but turned into a deer rifle too. I'm not a polished marksman in terms of paper punching competition I couldn't hold a candle to many of you guys. Having said that I shoot my deer the high shoulder/spine out of necessity being in the swamp and it never failed me they drop in their shadow. I have since gone to a PWS 7.62x39 the 308AR was just too dang heavy to carry around all night hog hunting. Especially shooting offhand that thing was a bear by 2 am. to keep accurate for this ol fart. x39 with suppressor, loaded 20 round mag, thermal and rifle just a smidge under 10 pounds been a great rifle for me dropped ~ 70 hogs with it this year.

jtallen83 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 @buttonbuck Long time no see Brother! So the LFA rifle is still running fine then? How long have you had it now?

How long have you had it now? Hey man yea it was a great rifle, but I ended up selling it to fund a dream rig. Always had capable rifles, but had never really splurged for everything I really wanted from top to bottom. Long story short I found out how well the 7.62x39 can run in a property built AR. So much so a little experiment became a push to build a light sweet hog dream rig that pushed a tad over $6k with new thermal and suppressor. Chris is a really good dude and had I not finally gone balls deep into a dream rifle build I'd still be ripping it. Shot it out to 500 on 10" steel off the hood of truck with an old Nikon 3-9 which didn't do it justice that BA barrel is capable of more work than I can give it. Edited November 2, 2018 by buttonbuck
sketch Posted November 3, 2018 Report Posted November 3, 2018 6k how many hogs do you whak for a x39 build? pics bro!
jtallen83 Posted November 3, 2018 Report Posted November 3, 2018 No doubt thermal and a suppressor took over half that budget.......but @buttonbuck
sketch Posted November 3, 2018 Report Posted November 3, 2018 teasing this guy ^^ with x39 pics priceless..
